How to increase clicks on Pinterest and traffic to your blog

How do you get blog traffic? Are you using Pinterest to bring traffic back to your site? Don't you want to find the specific pins that are getting the most clicks and bringing your targeted audience to your blog?

Focus on Clicks instead of Impressions. You are probably working hard to get as many impressions as you can but the impression on Pinterest is nothing when people are not clicking on your pins.

Improve your click-through rate instead of focusing on impressions.

Or turn these impressions into clicks, make people visit your website, read your content, buy from you or sign up for your content upgrade.

How to use Pinterest Analytics to find your TOP PINS that people love to click.

Go to Pinterest Analytics. Click on activity on your website and you will see different tabs. Choose “clicks” and your pins from your website that getting the most clicks will be displayed.

You can also choose to show data from the last 7 days, 14 days or 30 days.

Click to go to Pinterest Analytics click tab.

These are the pins that are already bringing traffic to your site. These pins are getting noticed on Smart Feed and people are enticed to click and read your blog.

Below are some reasons why your pins are getting clicks. These are the things that you should focus more on your pins.

HEADLINES
These pins have a great headline that entices people to learn more about your content.

FONTS, COLORS, AND SIZE
The fonts and colors are easy to read and visible on mobile. Bigger fonts work best to highlight powerful words and capture people's attention.

IMAGE
You have a compelling image that tells about your content. An image that reflects your audience situation.

PIN SIZE
Is it vertical? Is it longer than most of your pins? Use the same pin size when you create pins.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Using keywords on Pin description is a great way to be found on Pinterest. Take this opportunity as well to get people's interest to click and read your content.

Check out the stats of the pin to better understand the popularity of the pin. How many clicks and repins it got since the first time it appeared on Pinterest. It gives you more in-depth analysis of how a specific pin performs.

You can do two things with these most clicked pins to increase visits to your blog posts

1. Take note of the URL of these pins and repin them often manually.
Since these pins are your top performing pins, give them the boost they need to go viral by consistently pinning them manually.

Want to learn how I manually pin? I have read two resources about manual pinning strategy. The Pinteresting Strategies and the Manual Pinning Simplified.

I love the very simple strategy of the Manual Pinning Simplified, you don't need any spreadsheets or tracking system for your pins.

What I love about Pinteresting Strategies is it teaches you not only how to manual pin but a lot more about Pinterest. If you are serious about getting traffic from Pinterest and use this platform to grow your blog, you have to get the Pinteresting Strategies.

2. Replicate these most clicked pins. Use the same headline!
Create similar pin design for your other blog posts replicating the design of your performing pins from Pinterest Analytics or Google Analytics.

You can get a greater result if you use the same headline. Since you already know by now how to find you performing pins, Create more pins using the same headline from your viral pins or top-performing pins.

Change the background color, image or font color but use the same headline.

Again, pin them manually.

If you are using a scheduler like Tailwind or Boardbooster that is fine. But you also have to manually pin to show Pinterest that you are an engaged user.

You can use Boardbooster or Tailwind for other pins but for TOP PINS found on Google Analytics or Pinterest Analytics should be manually pinned to go viral.

That is how you find your TOP PINS on Pinterest. These pins have a high engagement already that Pinterest like. Why not trigger them to go viral by manually pinning them.
